Directions

In a deep skillet or pot with tight fitting lid add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add onions and stir until starting to soften. Stir in sausage and cook until starting to brown. Stir in chicken, bell pepper, herbs, spices, and salt. Stir until chicken starts to cook. Mix in pasta, chicken stock, and half and half. Bring to a simmer, stir, and cover. Reduce heat to low and cook for 14 minutes or until pasta is tender. Remove lid and cook for an additional 1 minute if needed to thicken sauce. Remove from heat and stir parmesan cheese.
